Mayfield looked awful in the first half and there is no disputing this. Not using CMC for essentially the entire game was and still is a head scratcher. The Panthers looked like a 5-6 win team on Sunday and I hope I am wrong. I'm an optimistic person, but I didn't see anything to be excited about. Even Horn looked bad.

I'm not convinced that CMC could not have played through most of those injuries. I feel like the team shut him down because they knew we were not competing for anything and RBs have limited time to play at an elite level.

I'm guessing the quote was taken out of context. He simply said he would have gone somewhere (hindsight) that had a QB competition. My guess is this quote was a response to the competition with Darnold and Baker for the starting job. This is a nothing article.

Don't discount Darnold. I know everyone wants him gone and I'm one of these people, but he knows the offense better and typically practices well. Plus, he started off last year playing very well until he got injured. This fanbase will implode if Darnold starts the season and it wouldn't surprise me.

Getting Mayfield and giving up something to get him are two different scenarios. I’m not opposed to Mayfield but he better be cheap.

I don’t believe it. I think these draft analysts are eating crow for being way off on the qbs this year.

Panthers shouldn't give up any draft picks for any QB available in the draft or free agency. With our defense, just let Darnold hand the ball of all game and occasionally make a play action pass. Maybe just let CMC play QB. We could probably win 8 or 9 games just by doing this.

I’d get Minshew and wait until next year to draft a rookie or go hard after a free agent. I don’t like any of the QBs this year in the 1st round.

No player and definitely not a franchise QB would chose to play for a team that is getting ready to fire their coach. It is shocking that Tepper does not understand this.

Minshew reminds me of Fitzgerald . . . never gets any love but just wins and is super likeable. Plus I like someone that can pull off a mullet.

We need to get Minshew. This guy just wins and is cheap. Plus, the fans will love him bc he is an awesome guy.

Pick up a vet QB for cheap to compete with Darnold and save the draft pic and money for a franchise QB and improve the OL. We won’t do this bc Rhule is going to try to save his job and has too much power.

Good and I never wanted this guy anyway. I understand you can’t win with a team full of Boy Scouts, but I’d rather the leader of my team not have this baggage for the price you are going to pay. This looks terrible for Tepper bc he wanted Watson bad.

At this point we shouldn't acquire another player. No need to spend any of our cap and let the next coach make these decisions.

Why would Rhule walk away from a $60 million contract in his 2nd year. Seems it would be better to get fired and collect on the contract then go back to college football. Perhaps his ego can't handle this and he knows the NFL is too much for him.

Our staff believes in an elite defense. We don’t need Aaron Rodgers and if Cam can stay healthy and not turn the ball over, this team can go deep in the playoffs with Cam. Might not be this year, but next year if we can add to the OL looks promising.

The media doesn’t like or dislike players. They cover players that generate interest either positive or negative. Cam is one of these players and he’s done great things that the media has covered and some stupid things that has been covered as well.

Didn't the front office try this and Cam wanted a long term deal? The staff is incompetent no doubt, but I think Cam was still thinking he was worth a fortune when we let him test free agency.

Naming a starter this early is garbage. Cam needs to beat out Sam which shouldn’t be hard to do. Competition is good

It is idiotic to trade Sam right now. Back ups are very valuable and try to mold him into a back up plus he’s trade value is non existent at the moment

For sure and this confirms that Rhule has no idea what he is doing when it comes to the QB position. At least he is man enough to admit his mistakes and he's had plenty so far.

Cam's first home game will be against Washington and Ron Rivera. You can't make this stuff up~

Wow, this is crazy. Talk about a complete sh!t show at the moment. Confirms that Rhule and company have no idea what they are doing and they'll just keep bringing in QBs until they find one that fits.

I don't mind the Darnold move and getting a franchise QB is a crap shoot for all teams. Darnold was cheap and many thought he was better than the other QBs in the draft other than Lawrence. I do mind the back-up QB we have on our team. This is unacceptable. Minshew should be on our roster.

Whoever determined that our OL and back-up QB is NFL quality should be fired immediately. Brady needs to be relieved of play calling duties. Maybe he is a decent offensive coordinator but can't call plays. Or perhaps he's just terrible but he needs to be relieved of play calling duties first.
